"'We have just in the past couple of weeks passed 100 gigawatts of total installed capacity in Europe,' Christian Kjaer, CEO of the European Wind Energy Association, told a small group of reporters.

'We have been adding about 10 gigawatts per year for a couple of years and it will be around the same this year,' he added. 'Whether that will continue in 2013, I can't say. There's too much political uncertainty.'"
